    No, you can’t, and it makes no sense honestly to have a feature like that.

    If you need to dynamically assign some data with key and value, you could use an dictionary:

    Dictionary<string, RectangleShape> shapes = new Dictionary<string, RectangleShape>();
    shapes.Add("matrix1_2", new RectangleShape( ... ));
    

    Then you can simply read the “variable” like

    shapes["matrix1_2"]
